TRILOGY « Les origines » Three grape varieties, three founding elements. Every year, we work on one or several plots even more thoroughly than for our emblematic “cuvées”, with average yields of 17 to 25 hl/ha. Each one of the laying down wines we have thus made highlights one of our main varieties: Carignan, Mourvèdre or Syrah. The exceptional “cuvées” of this trilogy pay tribute to the beginnings of the history of the estate by linking each variety to one significant figure or element. SEIGNEURIE DE cAMBOUS 2018 Through this wine, we aim at expressing the unique terroir of Cambous as it must have been in the Xth century when Gellone Abbey owned it. Two old very low-yielding Carignans blend together to offer a “wine to keep” that enhances the full potential quality of this variety that had been run down for too long
Vintage: Frequently rainy weather until August. Then, until October 15th, dry and warm weather during the day and rather cold at night, with great temperature variations (>20°C) resulting in fruity, fresh, complex and definitely elegant wines ! Eye: an intense garnet-red colour. Nose: a bewitching nose finely blending aromas of earth, redcurrant, tobacco, undergrowth, cade and spices. Palate: the rich, voluptuous and silky mouthfeel is outstandingly harmonious and makes a congenial partner for gastronomy.
Ageing Capacity: already pleasant to drink – ageing potential of ten to fifteen years
Serving Temperature: 18° C / 65° F Food & Wine Suggestions: this complex, elegant and distinctive wine will marry beautifully with game as well as roasted and grilled meats.
